Instructional Decision in Assessment

Below are sample cases encountered in school setting. Identify the best assessment that
could be used as input in order to come up with a sound decision. Include the type of decision
wherein the results of assessment will be used. Justify your proposed assessment. Write your
answer on the space provided.
Case 1:
Based on the previous school year's data, particularly the new enrollees, there were students
(since they have different backgrounds) who cannot cope well in the general basic subjects
particularly English and Mathematics. In preparation for the coming school year, the
administration mandated the Academic team to improve the situation and plan a program that
will help the students improve their skills in those subjects.
